It's the good ole' register_globals feature...
You'll need to either turn register_globals on in your php.ini file or access the variables from their respective arrays ($_SERVER,$_GET,$_POST)... since your form method is post it will be: $_POST['vname'].
Make sense?
If you put this at the top of your page it will extract these all for you:
if (!empty($_SERVER))
extract($_SERVER);
if (!empty($_GET)) {
extract($_GET);
} else if (!empty($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
}
if (!empty($_POST)) {
extract($_POST);
} else if (!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);
}

Subject: Simple PHP Script
Hi,
I am new to PHP and had just written a simple php script to get things
started. I have the following code:
<html>
<body>
<?php
if($submit1) {
echo "hello $vname";
} else {
?>
<form action="thispage.php" method=post>
<table>
<tr><td>Input yourname</td><td><input type=text name=vname></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2><input type=submit name=submit1></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
<?php
}
?>
</body>
</html>
So this page is suppose to display a input box and a submit button and once
you enter ur name and press the button, it should show Hello [ur name] and
the input box at the bottom of it and the button below and the process
continue.
I tried running it and inputted some text and pressed the button, and the
Hello [ur name] didn't show up, it just display an input box and the submit
button.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks a lot
Kelvin
